Heritage Dinner Celebrates the Grey & Simcoe Foresters

Primary Reserve infantry regiment The Grey & Simcoe Foresters take centre stage at this year’s Heritage Dinner, Huronia Museum’s annual fundraiser.

The Heritage Dinner is being held on May 24 at the Oakwood Community Centre in Victoria Harbour. It will feature a presentation by Lt. Col. (Ret.) Perry A. Rittershofer, formerly of the Grey & Simcoe Foresters, about their history and their mission since its founding in 1866.

“The Heritage Dinner is always a highlight of our year,” said Bryan Piitz of Huronia Museum, “It gives us a chance to get out into the community and share some of the stories that represent the rich history of our area.”

Tickets for the dinner are $75 each and can be purchased through Huronia Museum, in person or by telephone (705-526-2844).

Debate Series – April 5, 2024

UPDATE 2024/04/05 – This event has been postponed.

The gloves are off in Midland with the introduction of the Huronia Museum Debate Series.  Two skilled debaters square off on topics ranging from the critical to the absurd.  

In the first installment of our series, we tackle both sides of the statement, “Cursive Should Be Taught in Our Schools.”  Our two debaters spark a lighthearted examination of each position.

Who decides the winner?  YOU!

Do you agree with our proposition or disagree?  Could one of our debaters change your mind?  Find out Friday, April 5, 2024 at 6:30pm at Huronia Museum.

Admission is free, but donations are appreciated.
